Chef Jenn
These Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Cookies are rich, chewy, and packed with deep chocolate flavor. With shiny crackled tops and soft centers, they’re the ultimate brownie-cookie mashup—and they couldn’t be easier to make.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until bubbling. Place chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and espresso powder in a bowl. Pour hot butter over and let sit 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  • In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed for 5 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  • Mix in melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract on low speed until combined.
  • Add flour and mix on low just until incorporated—do not overmix.
  • Scoop 2-tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space. Roll between lightly oiled palms if a smoother cookie surface is desired.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes until the tops are set and crinkly. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use room-temperature eggs for maximum volume when whipping.
  •  Instant espresso powder doesn’t make the cookies taste like coffee—it just boosts the chocolate flavor.
  •  Don’t skip the chilling if your kitchen is warm or your dough feels too loose; 10 minutes in the fridge helps hold the shape.
